❝ One who knows nothing can understand nothing❞
Chapter 18: Necromancy
All I can hear is the wind howling with massive pressure blowing my hair in different directions, as I wait outside for his car to come out. Owls and Dogs voices echo, the night is smoothly dark and no noises occur but the harsh winds and animals. Finally I hear the car engine start, and see Ryder's car pull up in front of me. Look around outside at the dark area, I get into the car and we both head of to his mysterious place.
"It's night, where are we going at this time?" I ask looking out the window as trees and houses pass by. Nothing more than this felt a relief, sitting with him and bot getting tortured.
"I am going to show you my world, something which you haven't seen" he smiles, I nod my head eyeing my phone as different notifications kept on popping up. Everyone is texting me asking me to do this, or that, or to destroy them there right at the moment but I need him to gain my trust. Like how he did for 3 years, which obviously I won't be doing for that long.
Time ticks by slowly, I can't help but yawn and look at the window. "So where is Ryder? I mean go do you look like him?"
"It is a pretty long story... why?" he asks looking at me.
"Cause, I want to know..." I trail off the obvious. I look at him with pleading eyes hoping he can tell me his side of story. I feel like everyone when are in a fight should tell their ideas, everyone has their reasons and I believe it should be respected even if someone takes it the total opposite way.
Within the silence, he doesn't say anything so I give up and look back at the window. I need to record his story, I eye my phone that has the record button all set but he won't even sp – "It all started..." as soon as I hear him say that I quickly turn on the record button.
I look at him, his face shows stress. What is he so tensed about? "I don't know what the people think of us but what they think is the total opposite of us. When I was a young boy I had a twin brother named Ryder... He was different from us, he was full on werewolf, while we were all demon; but of course my mom was half werewolf and half demon though she died in an accident. You see, it is all complicated... I am also related to Justin because of our grandparents. My grandpa was all about powers, he wanted it all I was a young boy and my dad he didn't really know what was going on... when my grandpa attacks the kingdom he lost and I knew everything. I told my dad but he said that his father wouldn't destroy innocents just for magic. Well after years... my grandpa died my Father changed he got mad at all the werewolf's like you guys specifically. You werewolves hate demons even though we aren't the black demons you think we are we are just humans and have demons things inside of us if that made any sense... I got lost in my dad words too... so I am helping him by getting some magic back to keep our community living, since your kingdom keeps taking away our magic making us week... I know this is crazy, it probably doesn't even makes sense to you –
"I get you" I smile. This doesn't make sense, who is the bad guy now. Oh god this is just a misunderstanding between to clans but the truth is the Eurynome are still evil and are still destroying innocents when they should just confront the kingdom and speak about it. Or then have war?
The car ride turned out to be pretty quiet afterwards, All I did was watch the trees and houses past by until we arrived at a desert reserved like area. This area seems very uncanny, like as if it's one of the scene from a horror film where it's all dark and a car is driving, and then suddenly bloody ghosts pop up. Shoving my incoherent thoughts away we drive into a busy town. More like a village, parking the car I get out of the car and look around. It's all so quiet everyone is probably asleep.
"Hey, this is our village... houses are Far East but up north is where I live the kingdom" he says while we both walk straight through the village. I nod my head in response, pretty amused by this whole community. It looks very ancient like, I kind of like acting now because I finally get to solve a case-like mission.
"Do you acre about the whole werewolf... kingdom... your brother?" I ask, but with the response he gives is just one of his ugly laughs. Those evil wins I experience for 3 years. Then I guess the answer is no he doesn't care about werewolves. I wrinkle my nose in disgust.
He comes up in front of me with a face full with laughter, "I care about werewolves?" he questions breaking out into laugher. I take a nervous breath in and just giggle, "Werewolves sucks! They shouldn't even exist! They are killers! No obviously you are a werewolf but I have a perfect plan after we win you can be a witch like wizard like us! Isn't that great!" he cheers, grabbing my arms and shaking them with excitement. I try to put on a fake smile but I fail miserably.
"yeah I guess, let's just go" I say quickly, and speed pass by him. He doesn't respond luckily, making us walk silently to this huge, huge castle. From the corner of my eyes I can see some light and glitter, tuning my head to that direction fully my eyes meet young people playing with magic.
This is pretty extraordinary but then these innocent young kids will be grown to be monsters like the man I am walking with, how can one not see how dangerous these people are. Thinking about that, I haven't still informed the man in the basement, I must tell him. Immediately, he must help he obviously knows more about this than I do. "Welcome to my home" Ryder says, his voice echoes inside the huge castle that I just realized we are in. My mouth slightly opens in 'awe' as I see this beautiful place. Everything is of gold, silver, red, and blue. This is actually quiet pretty.
"Shut your mouth, before any flies fly in" he smirks. Oops god that is embarrassing, I close my mouth and follow him towards a long narrow hall. There are guards align straight vertically but my right and left. After a few moments of me examining the luxurious castle, I bump harshly to a hard wall. Ow, darn its Ryder back. I apologize and stand right beside him eyeing the huge throne in front of us, there sat an old man, the exact man that I saw on the magical video response. A bright happiness comes upon his face as he looks at both of us.
He gets up and comes down to Ryder; "my son you did amazing work" he gives him a hug which shockingly brings a smile to my face. Why do these loving people not have mercy upon a werewolf? That is just so absurd; "and who is this young lady. Is this the beautiful woman you were speaking about Abaddon?" he questions looking at me.
My cheeks flame pink once again, this is totally on disadvantages about being pale. I hate getting pink cheeks! "My name is Rosella" I say, even though he didn't ask.
"Yes father, it is her. I am here to show her how Necromancy works, and what's the bets perks on being a demon so she can turn one too" Ryder says, I am so used to calling him Ryder I can't help it. The king nods his head and leads me to another hall area. Ryder – I mean Abaddon follows behind while I am beside the king awkwardly.
I bit my lips nervously, as I see glasses of different potion like glass against each sides of the wall; "so darling. Necromancy is another words for magic. These potions that we have is very special and important to us, but our magic is fading away hurting each any every soul here" He says.
"I was wondering why don't you guys discuss it out, you guys and the wolves clearly have a misunderstanding" I suggest nervously, I could hear Ryder chuckle behind me. This is why there is one of the perks of being a werewolf it's better to hear.
"Oh no, we don't do that" he giggles, I roll my eyes in response, they are just such idiots. "We win by our rules which means kill to win, you won't get it" he shoves off the talk and starts to talk about all the annoying magic and all. I can't help but yawn as he keeps talking about his old, old life. This is going to be a boring day.

I sigh deeply once we arrive back home, that was a long walk through each humungous halls. It was so tiring hearing about the history, and how magic all came, it is just so annoying. Stepping into the house brought me too relief, my legs are so soar by the walk, I am so weak at these stuff wow. "You look tired" Ryder blurts out of nowhere. I nod my head and shake off my shoes.
"Want me to make you any food or... -
"Nah, I am good go to sleep" he rushes of upstairs and I clean up the shoes putting them into straight rows. Terror travels all over my body reminding me what the king says. He wants war and I must warn them before they can do such a thing. Luckily I will know the plan so I will be able to help my people, hopefully. Just hopefully. I make my way upstairs tiptoeing to Ryder's room. His room door is slightly open, this gives me chance to peek through it and thank god he is asleep. I walk downstairs and make my way to the basement door.
As I arrive weird feelings start to overcome me, I walk down the stairs and can hear the heavy breathing again; "h – hello?" I say as I approach in front of the cage. My heart starts to pound heavily as I wait for a response. "I – Uhm found out Ryders plan" I murmur.
"Tell me" the man finally whispers, he seems that he will be dying soon.
"Can I please get you out of here, I feel very sad... -
"No" he coughs, "not just yet he will catch you but please tell me the plan"
"So, it all was a mess, its quiet confusing but Ryder's father, well his real name is actually Abaddon, so his father's father and Justin Father, father were I think brothers and Abaddon's grandpa wanted the power of Justin's grandpa and it was just a whole mess, it was just partially a misunderstanding, and now Abaddon dad wants all the magic they took...
"They took from them, they want to hurt us just because our grandpa won and fought without even preparing. Justin's dad kept the bad magic in a secret place now they want it to destroy us all wolves just cause of that one little fight, reminds me of those human world wars... anyways, tell my – I mean Justin and Felix about this! They need to know and then you must save them then come to me okay" he speaks I bit clearer this time.
"W – Who are you? How do you know all this?" I ask curiously. "Let me help you" I get up brushing of the dust.
"don – " before I can hear what he says I grab on to the bars, causing a sudden shock of electricity to sting my body, my body then flies all the way back hitting the ground really hard.
"Oh my god" I breath, get up, I can feel the warm liquid oozing out of my scraped arms, but what shocked me is what just happened. What was that, it all was too fast?
"Don't do that! It is electrical volts that can kill a wolf. I have wolfs bane on so it can't hurt me" he sighs. I shake my body tremendously taking away the weird vibration feeling away.
I shake my thoughts away; but something catches my eyes. "Your voice... it sounds too familiar!" I say, thinking I might know who it is. Shuffle noises start to come from the cage, that once invisible figure starts to appear closer and closer.
That is when my jaw drops miles down and my eyes pop; "ai, it is I you think of" he says. I have to be dreaming!
